Occupy Museum's project Debtfair will be included in the 2017 Whitney Biennial. The first stage is a national open call to collect profiles on art and debt. We will then sift through the data and create a platform of artwork "bundles" to be installed in the museum and presented online in March 2017.

Dear Friends, we need art now more than ever. Artworks are"real answers to the puzzle externally posed to them" as Adorno wrote. And what a puzzle! And what better form than theater? Ritualistic life-acting. Experiments for potential revolutions. It is on the stage that I got the tools to participate in Occupy Wall Street with my full spirit,...

Like art markets and financial markets, Bank of NO isn't confined by national borders. It conducts business in austerity-bound Cyprus and now the city of Leipzig. Bank of NO crosses over the waters of the Mediterranean and it also crosses the waters of history. In Leipzig it will now re-open...

Does art speak in commands when a museum is run like a dictatorship? This question initiated our project. We are artists who are critical of the abuse of labor as modus operandi. From preliminary research it seemed that such a situation existed at the Wroclaw Contemporary Museum (MWW). Abuse of power is a fitting theme because the particular...

"At key moments in history, artists have reached beyond galleries and museums, using their work as a call to action to create political and social change. For the past hundred years, the term agitprop, a combination of agitation and propaganda, has directly reflected the intent of this work.

BANK OF NO is a “rebranding initiative” where art meets the banking crisis; a practice whose dimensions stretch into painted graphic installation, street art intervention, political direct action, and communal dance. At the core lies an international working group with DNA from the 2011 political movements, including core organizers of Occupy...

In the artist’s studio there is a window. It looks out across industrial Brooklyn rooftops (morphing into luxury housing towers) to lower Manhattan - the temple of global finance. After the river of fortune forked in 2008 dividing mega-rich from everyone else in a new stage of capitalism, artist Noah Fischer finally began to respond to...

Debtfair is Occupy Museum’s ongoing campaign and series of proposals to reveal the hidden debt in the art market. The extractive mechanisms of interest-bearing loans from education or credit cards increasingly keep artists poor, even as the overall wealth in the art market increases. A community of artists are making their debt struggles...

"Mask of Money" an artwork/artifact from the 2011 Occupy Movement positioned on a pyramidal display structure was included in the exhibition, and in January an "Activist Summit" provided means to "unfreeze the frame" of the exhibition by holding an assemby which ended in an action to intervene in the curatorial text and exhibition walls.

A project of Performa 13, artist Pawel Althamer in collaboration with Noah Fischer, Roman Stanczak, Szymon & Bruno Althamer, Rafal Zwirek and the Aaron Burr Society present a space of performative possibility at BiBA of Williamsburg, open from November 2-21 2013.

Decentralized, on- and off-line, crossing institutional hierarchies in both public and private spaces, artists contextualize their work within the دعاء السفر narratives of their actual economic lives. Collectors receive artwork in exchange for checks directly to the artist’s loaning banks.

Winter Holiday Camp is an artistic experiment in institutional democracy open to the collaboration of children and adults alike, including every worker of CCA Ujazdowski Castle and its visiting public.

In partnership with a coaching company called New Ventures West, and with the support of the Department of Public Works, San Francisco, this project consisted in conducting a three hour experiment on the streets of downtown San Francisco. Participants wore sandwhich board signs while...

During the Truth is Concrete Festival (Steirischer Herbst) a group of artist activist organized a group within the group called "Action is Concrete" in collaboration with local activists from Graz to experiment with mobilized political vitality.

(CNN) -- In 2011, as the world marked 10 years since 9/11, we asked artists around the globe to illustrate the ripple effects of the terrorist attacks. The result was "9/11 Ripple," CNN's first digital art gallery.With the 2012 elections approaching, we...

Occupy Museums (OWS) participated in the 7th Berlin Biennial from June 1-14th.

On September 17th, 2011, we occupied Wall Street because the wealthiest 1% who control banks and big corporations broke trust with the American people. Motivated by a quest for power they robbed the national treasury, bought off our democracy, and made a mockery of the justice system. They left us little choice but to...

Coins, those age-old metallic discs struck with the symbols of national mythology, just might unlock reason & light in the fourth year of the Dire Global Recession, an economic state whose laws do not apply within the stones of Wall Street; whose invisible great wall is impregnable to marauding justice, equality, and change....

Electrical Forest: Made in Troy is a dense constellation of actual felled trees, surrogate trees, handmade leaves, leafy projections, found objects, and mobile sculptures and lanterns.

The object that we call "monitor" is at once ubiquitous, obsolete, and in the end, perhaps a non-object because we gaze into its pixilated illusion, never directly at its shape and mass.

Pop Ark is in search of a stimulating approach to life after global warming. What is happiness when drowned polar bears are washed ashore because they could not find a piece of ice to save them? And when you can no longer trust the sun?
